Hi,

I'm working on a project for management of namespaced classes used within WordPress via a PSR-4 autoloader.

I am not a WordPress developer, just someone sick of waiting for WordPress to modernize.

What I'll be distribution is just a collection of un-modified interfaces from the PSR github so that they are available to classes that want to implement the interfaces.


Yes there's composer, but I don't believe composer belongs on production systems - especially those often managed by a gui in the web application admin panel.

This project will probably go nowhere but of course if it did become popular with WordPress admins I would let PHP-FIG manage updates to it if they wanted to.

Just wanted to give a headups in case anyone saw it and was confused. I tried to make the README very clear that I am not PHP-FIG but just packaging the interfaces w/o modification.

I only put interfaces in it marked as approved, and will periodically check for updates. I just want to encourage the use of PSR interfaces for others writing classes that can be used in a WordPress environment without needing dozens of copies of the same interface individually installed with each plugin that uses it.

Thank you for your time. And effort. And interfaces that make life easier.

Thanks for the heads up, Alice. As long as the LICENSE.md files are retained
(which you're doing) I don't see any issue.

Good luck with pushing/pulling/nudging/cajoling/tricking WordPress into the
modern era. It's no small task. :-)

Hey Alice,
You may want to take a look at https://github.com/roots/bedrock for interesting ideas on this particular topic.
TBH I don't think trying to do vendoring via a duplicate git repo is going to solve more problems than the ones it introduces, but I see where you're coming from.

Cheers.
